18. Community services

1. ACTIVITIES OF VARIOUS CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE DURING THE

YEAR 2014-2105

The very name of the college is self – explanatory that the focus of education in

this institute is selfless service to society. As such the vision of the college lays emphasis

on the development of human resources in order to serve humanity. Nearly half a century

back when students were particular in choosing the career – oriented studies which

would unlock the golden period of bright future through hortative jobs, Capt. DVP Raja,

the founder of this institute chose to pursue the course in social work so as to render

tireless service to the society, particularly for the upliftment of the downtrodden.

As a true visionary he founded this institute on 2nd October 1969, on Gandhiji’s

Birth Centenary Day to provide Post Graduate Education in Social Work at affordable

cost, particularly to the socially, economically and educationally backward and first

generation students.

The ever-vibrating mind of the founder which centers around the welfare of the

society and students, day-in and day-out, conceived an innovative way of fulfilling the

vision and mission of the institute. The result is the formation of sixteen centers, a unique

brain-child of the founder, to instil the spirit of service in the minds of the students. All

these centers started in quick succession, in the past have proved an important and

indispensable step in helping the students to fully understand the motto of the college

‘strive to serve’.

In order to upload the value of the precept that practice is better than preaching.

The teaching – learning process in this institute is extended outside the classroom and

college campus the Ground Zero through these centers, where not only our students but

also our staff get intellectually sharpened and spiritually fortified. Thus the projection and

formation of these centers as a bridge between the class room and community, in turn

yield a rich harvest in the long run.
